Inhaltsangabe
A thoughtful examination of what the state is, where it comes from, and how citizens should relate to it. This 1898 address argues that the state exists to promote the highest good of every person and the nation as a whole, not merely to enforce laws or advance private interests. It frames the state as a divinely constituted, morally guided institution that commands respect and responsibility from those it serves.
Written in a clear, accessible voice, the work surveys competing theories of the state’s origin and insists that true political life grows from the duties people owe to one another and to the common good. It contrasts visions of government grounded in force or contract with a view of the state as an enduring, public good shaped by ethics, law, and national character.
- Defines the state as more than a jural or economic entity, emphasizing moral purpose and public welfare.
- Discusses origins of political authority as rooted in divine design and communal life, not merely social contracts or force.
- Explains the responsibilities of citizens to honor the state and contribute to the common good.
- Addresses how laws, justice, and public institutions align with national life and individual dignity.
Ideal for readers of political philosophy, history, and American civic discourse looking for a historical perspective on state power and citizen duty.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book explores the functions and nature of the state, arguing its existence as a divine institution with its origin intrinsically linked to the structure of humankind. The author debunks prevailing theories surrounding the state's contractual origin and sovereignty of the people, viewing them as incomplete and flawed. Instead, the book proposes an origin in the very fiber of humanity, where the state naturally emerges when people share a common political vision. The state's overarching purpose is deemed to be the well-being of its people and its legitimacy stems from being established with the people's approval and in harmony with their will. The author maintains that the state, despite being from the people, is above them, demanding reverence and obedience. The duty of a worthy citizen, the book argues, is to live a virtuous life and actively serve the state. This service is crucial as the quality of a nation is fundamentally dependent on the character and actions of its citizens. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the principles that underpin the state and by urging individuals to actively engage in their civic responsibilities. By doing so, the book argues the state can be a powerful force for liberty, justice, and societal progress.
